The Nation; How Americans Link Iraq and Sept. 11

By TOM ZELLER (NYT) 1688 words
Late Edition - Final , Section 4 , Page 3 , Column 2
LEAD PARAGRAPH - THE results of a Knight-Ridder poll conducted in early January seemed lifted from one of Jay Leno's man-in-the-street interviews. ''As far as you know,'' one question asked, ''how many of the Sept. 11 terrorist hijackers were Iraqi citizens?'' Fifty percent said that one or more were.

Such findings might reasonably be called discouraging. None of the hijackers were from Iraq. But dismissing the results as simple ignorance -- consigning such misapprehension to that same segment of American society that can't name the vice president or find Canada on a map -- is too easy.
